Centuries of abuse and torture leave deep wounds, a malformed culture, and a tradition of evil. Correcting the persecution of gay people that has been levied by the church is proving to be frustratingly difficult; however, it is an urgent and essential work if the church is to remain relevant. Bridging this chasm of misinformation and hatred will generally be reached by several methods.
A crucial fact is that the issue of the exclusion and abuse of people of diverse sexual orientation, identity, and expression by the church is not about words written on a page or shouted from a pulpit -- the issue is people. Flesh and blood, made-in-God's-image, people. Real people with real hurts and real stories.
Many of these stories are told here -- they must be read. They must be shared. They provide an honest and vital element in bridging the separation between fear and love.
The hatred, persecution, and exclusion must stop. Do your part by reading this important book and sharing it with someone you love.
